About Us
Partnerships Make a Difference is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing educators, parents and students with the tools and inspiration to do great things. We are a group of dedicated and experienced educators whose ultimate vision is to help young people develop a sense of passion and purpose and learn to apply it throughout their lives. Working with and on behalf of students in teaching, administration, curriculum development, staff development and counseling at all levels, Partnerships consultants have developed an appreciation for the processes young people go through in their development. Our experiences have led us to identify methods of reaching students in a way that allows them to achieve their full potential through the integration of service-learning, character education, career development and other curricular extensions. We believe our programs help today’s students become the next generation of capable, caring and involved citizens.
